Donna, I guess I am a bit on the sleepy side. I hope you don’t mind me posting here. One thing I’d like to see is news, comments, etc from the MS Delta. We have NO!!! voice up in this neck of the woods. It is sad too. “PLEASE!!! Help”

We don’t have the reporting staff to cover the Delta on a regular basis, but we can take big story suggestions. Also, anyone is welcome to start forum entries about stuff going on there. I would also consider adding a Delta blogger to Jackblog if it is someone who can blog well and at least once a week.
